This new reality you speak of…will be interesting and uplifting to us pale, shallow earth dwellers.
Of course it will.
We’ve been watching over your planet for billions of years now.
It is time to post blogs on this machine and let you and the world know about other extraterritorial aliens of what they can introduce to new poetic imagery.
🙂
It is about time you got here……..
Yes, our apologies for arriving so late.
My poetry will find its home here in this planet of yours.
🙂
The 21st century will lose its touch on actual humanity. Technology will differently distract people more from their activities of their daily social life.
Great post by the way…Its about time you got aliens got here.
Thanks. In time we shall all multiply in oneness.
🙂
Well Hello – 17 followers and no posts yet… must be alien mind control!!
Quite a premise here: “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”
Play on!
I will be posting a poem today.
Keep your eyes open for something greater.
Such a great compliment.
Reminds me of some thoughts in the japanese movie Kairo (pulse). Fascinating
I’m not familiar with that movie.
Are you familiar with (William Gibson)? His one of my influences. Have you read (Neuromancer)? Great book by the way…I highly recommended.
🙂 T.V. Schizo will obviously blow your mind away.
Nah, too late on that one,I am ready – come what may, give it to me!
🙂
An awesome program, and well worth the sweat! Your summary reminds me of Snow Crash, the rot thickly spread on the surface of this beautiful world, Phynance as Ubu Roi used to say… Will follow at close range 🙂
Snow Crash isn’t that by the author (Neal Stephenson)?
I can’t say I haven’t read his work. But, I am curious to read some of his stuff soon. What book would you recommend by Mr. Stephenson?
You bring excellent perspectives.
Yes, Snow Crash and Cryptonomicon are the two books I read so far. Snow Crash invented the “Metaverse” as we know it. I reviewed Cryptonomicon on my blog 🙂
Indeed…
You’ve learn to understand what mother-nature herself goes through with humanities stupidities and their foolish wars. I come to educate those who want to listen and understand my message and cybernetic frequencies. 🙂
Thanks for the many “likes”; it’s really encouraging. You may have missed one I dedicated to you: http://digger666.com/2012/10/27/amazing-pumpkin-carvings-by-ray-villafane-demilked/

My new poem is up now. 🙂
Thanks for following zen crunch, Charlie Zero. I like your 7 suggestions to better serve the earth–music, dance, literature, love, poetry, books…all good (communication can get complicated, but maybe that’s true of everything). See you in cyberspace.
Hi Charlie, Thanks for the follow. You have a very interesting blog here. Best wishes, Zainab

Hi Charliezero1, I think we are all aliens. Thank you for liking my poem ‘ The Monastery!’ and for wanting to follow my poetry adventures. Best Wishes, The Foureyed Poet.
You’re welcome sir.
You’ll be hearing a lot about me and reading more on my poetry. It will blow your mind away.

Sure…sounds good to me. 🙂
There Here!!!
🙂
Hey Charlie! Love the premise of your blog 🙂 Thanks for liking my post and ‘following’.. much appreciated! I look forward to reading your archive and future posts.
Thanks for visiting and for the follow.
This is perhaps the most interesting and entertaining About page I’ve ever read.
By the way, thanks for following my blog 😀
Thank you for the follow, Charlie Zero Keep dancing! 🙂
You are the sliding moment that hides like Trojan inside the kernel of each thinker’s certain doubts. Thank you, Charlie Z, for taking time!
Finally! Someone who makes sense!! And isn’t boring ! Thanks for the pictures you put in my head! An inspiration! Now I want to write a poem about our elite ruling class running on cylinders choking on sediment coming out of gas with ethanol. But you can do a better job of it than I can, so feel free if you need a topic! 😉
Thanks Chris for stopping by putting your inputs.
My blogs and everything I write is something you’ve never read or hear before. trust me, my poetry and message will not disappoint you.
The future certainly will not recognize the present. Like some arcane notion dreams will be the new paradigm. As unknown as the ocean floor.
Right on man…:)
Thank you for traveling so far to visit my blog and like ‘The Myth of the Dark Ages’.
AnElephantCant claim he’s an alien
He is far too attached to this Earth
Though he can’t go to space
He has a smile on his face
You amuse him for what that is worth
Hey man (or whatever unearthly organism you are), thanks for the follow on my blog! I’ve gotta say, your poetry is, quite simply, out of this world – visceral and chaotic, and yet it all comes together quite miraculously. Great stuff. Crack cocaine of language.
I like what I see and especially what I don’t (white noise image..loved). Thanks for liking and following my blog. I look forward to more interesting activity from you…:)
So glad to see your using your talents and creativity online to better this place. By the way, I read your article on bullying. Your story and writing is so powerful, I was crying and feeling like I lived your hell. This world can be such a mean place. Glad I met you on dVerse. You have so much talent and wisdom to share.
Thank you for following my blog! It is much appreciated.
Hay I just came up with something after reading your blog. I’m a NetPoeGoth more likely I’m Goth at heart who loves to be online writing poetry. 🙂 I like your blog. Its unique and interesting to read.
Very interesting blog.
Finally had a chance to read over your most recent posts, Charlie. Loving all of them. xo
Your bio definitely gives an idea about your poetic self and an insight into your writing style. 🙂
Thank you. One of my good friends made this Bio for me. He wrote it describing everything about my poetic self.
Hey Charlie! 🙂
Thank you for stopping by my blog earlier.
Now I will wander through yours for a while if you don’t mind 😉
~Patty
Cool blog! Love cats!
This is a veru quirky and cute About Me page, I really like it! And you said you perform poetry in opec mic community? May I just say I am so in love with spoken word and my fave artists are Shane Koyczan and Andrea Gibson!! 🙂
I am a fan of Trent Reznor.
I really love your style of writing. Very different and dark which is very appealing to me. As i have time I will continue to read through your works. Thanks for sharing. I do hope to become successful with my own poetry one day.
Charlie Zero. You do not amaze me- you, being my reflection or the vice versa. I need not say more. And oh, I owe you all my appreciation. Glad to have read you.
You make the world a better place.
🙂
H.P. Lovecraft! 🙂
Looking forward to reading more of your stuff, very impressed!
Thank you Amanda.
My stuff will trip you out. Trust me on this. My poetry is like a bad acid trip but in a good kind of natural trip.hahaha!!!
YOU forgot to say you’re a comedian.
I don’t like to expose my comedian side to the world. hahahaha!!!!
lol
I had to check who ‘Trent Reznor’ from the band ‘Nine Inch Nails’ – was. (am I on the not-wanted list now?) Nice to read more about you! 😀
Thank you…:) I’m glad you enjoy.
Nine Inch Nails is the best band ever.
🙂
oh…the poem I was telling you about is titled: Science Fried my Egg Cells – (A Psychiatrist Journey into the Dissecting Ripple Hiss)
Hope you like it…I’m so excited what you and others think about it.
Pretty awesome blog you have here. Love it. 🙂 Best, phoebe
hi! Phoebe. Nice to make your acquaintance. I’m so glad you liked my blog and my poems. Hope your head didn’t hurt from all my intense imagery that’s all over the place. 🙂
Curious how did you stumble on my page? 🙂 I followed your page as well. 🙂
I was browsing my wordpress reader under the tag ‘poetry’ when your poem popped up. And the rest was history. What can I say? It was fate. 😉
Awesome! There’s plenty more poems to come on Monday. 🙂 Keep your eyes open. 🙂
Nice to meet you Charlie Zero One 🙂
It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance. 🙂
what a bio. I ❤ Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails. I am not surprised that you are also a fan 🙂
CharlieZ, really enjoyed your writing. look forward to more.
Thank you sir. 🙂 I knew you would enjoy it. More to come Tomorrow morning at 3:00am. I will update all day every day. My poem will start popping up on everyone’s current new post. 🙂 Trust me this next one will be a mind bending trip odyssey. 🙂
Yes!! You have an awesome aura dude. I’ll look forward to every one you post. Already have notifications set lol
When you use mind bending trip with odyssey….are you saying like a “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” or a “Major Tom” odyssey or maybe something like 2112 by Rush?
Major Tom yes, or 2001: A space Odyssey. That sort of mind trip. 🙂
Oh my. I better stock up on weed for a interplanetary trip and pack a lunch 😝
hahahahaha!!! Right on my friend. 🙂 I’ll join you. 🙂
Hello Soul finder
This is by far, the most interesting bio section I’ve come across in the blogosphere. Very intriguing. Hi again Charlie.
We just met a couple of hours ago 🙂
Staying tuned,
Soul catcher.
Hello again. 🙂
I will stay tune Soul Catcher. 🙂
Trent reznor? SOLD! Totally following you . I watched them live in Manchester, U.K. in 2014. It was EPIC! You weren’t kidding about the bloody dictionary, you poems read like a mad genius. 😉 I mean that as a compliment because we are all mad here but some are just slightly off the scale eccentric ans I kind of like that.
You saw ‘Nine Inch Nails’ in Manchester? Awesome! my girlfriend and I, have seen them about 9 times. Trent always brings a great performance to the masses. 🙂
We are all as mad as a hatter. 🙂

Ahoy Charlie! Something new up your alley on the blog-a-m-jig when you get a chance…
Very interesting Bio. Are you working on any more books?
Well, this year I released my first book. Now, I’m currently working on my second book. Which will be out 2018. Trust me it’ll be worth it. 🙂
That’s exciting!
Yes, you are an interesting soul, Charlie! Glad we are connected! 🙂
Likewise.
I will learn a lot from your work. 🙂
Hi, Charlie! Just took a look at your blog! I like how you designed the look of your blog, very cool! So, you published three books already. Congratulations! Where in California do you live right now? I love SoCal!
Hi! Erika, thank you so much for reading and liking my Bio.
Actually, I only published 1 poetry book. The others we’re just little chapbooks. 🙂
I live in the Boyle Heights area, home of Los Angeles. I don’t live that far from Hollywood. The drive from Boyle Heights to Hollywood is only 12 minutes. So I’m close to everything in my area.
You live in SoCal as well?
No unfortunately I don’t. But since I have been there for the first time 7 years ago I fell in love with it and visited 10 to 11 times since then. It is my fueling station!
Hey there! Loved your blog. Thoughts on colonising Mars?
Awesome! Thank you for reading.
To answer your question: Yes, and No. I say this because seeing is how NASA wants to find a habitable life on another planet. It seems as if they want to leave earth abandon, with no hope of fixing this mother of ours.
What do you think Cara? Should NASA colonize Mars?
I am currently following your page and will be there soon to read your work and your Bio.
Curious: How did you find my page?
I totally agree with you. Instead of abandoning the planet in a pathetic state, we all should try our level best to fix it. I think the damage can be repaired. It’s late, but not too late. So yeah, SpaceX and NASA should abandon the thought of colonising Mars. Sorry if the question sounded absurd. You were giving some sort of alien vibes, so I wondered if you could share your thoughts with us Earthlings.
And sorry again, I can’t recall how I came across your blog.
Maybe I was checking the recommendation page.
Don’t be sorry. Your question was very valid. You are such a good person. I can tell by the way you write. I have a good feeling about you. I’ll be heading over soon to check out your work. 🙂
So interesting! Great bio 🙂
Thank you Claudia. 🙂 I have my people put this Bio together. 🙂
Very interesting work! Thought provoking, challenging, interesting. I’m surprised we haven’t found each other around here before since it seems we’ve both been writing on this platform for a while. Glad to have met you now. Looking forward to more of your work!
Thank you so much for reading and observing.
What you’ll read here on the page will always be challenging to the reader and its always different every post. Never the same.
I’m also surprised myself too. Now we have found each other and we shall learn from each other. 🙂
Looking forward to reading more of your work as well. 🙂
all very interesting for sure but I was hoping for something to better know the person not only the poet/writer. typical woman, I guess always wanting more. 🙂
I don’t really like exposing myself or expressing who I am. In my poetry I hide behind cryptic or strange ways of writing. I’ll give you one thing. I was a victim of bullying throughout my life. Since then, I suffer from PTSD. Hope this helped a little.
I am sorry to hear…I live daily with this same condition. Not giving away too much of ones self is smart thinking.
This is rad. I like everything about you.
You were right…I am scratching my head. 😁
I admit I don’t understand your poetry, but I am a simple person who doesn’t “get” the abstract. But it seems as if you have many readers who do, and who appreciate your talent.
Keep writing! 🙂
.
You got me~
At David Bowie!
I’m fascinated with your abstract agility…Thanks for the follow. Looking forward to reading more of your work 🙃
Awesome! More poetry to come soon. 🙂
👏
Very interesting! I am always happy to any/all fellow “avant-gardists” out there working on their thing passionately.
Pleasure to make your acquaintance.
I’m currently following your page. Hope you follow my page as well. I look forward to reading and learning from you.
Hi Charlie, good to find you. How are you?
Nandita
Hey! Nandita. Welcome back to WordPress.
I’m doing well. How are you? What brings you back to WordPress again? We have a lot to talk about. I’m following your page now. 🙂 Hope you follow mine.
Poetry brings me back 🙂 thanks for the follow. Following you, dear friend.
Hope you do follow my page. I have not gotten any notification.
You haven’t changed a bit, my dear friend. :):)
What do you mean? I’ve changed a lot since.
If you read my recent post and my new one that I posted today…You’ll see I have changed. 🙂
Wow, that’s some list of influences
🙂 🙂 There’s more. 🙂
After a such introduction….how not to follow u and go discover your work😍
I see you’ve read my poems. Did you use the dictionary? My poems require my readers to trip out and see the imagery within.
I got that,that’s why I like them.Its all in the looking eyes 😉
Excellent. So glad you enjoyed my poems. Each poem I write and post, will be completely different from the rest. 🙂
Mr. Zero?
I love the people you have cited. I’m all ears.
🙂 Thank you for reading my Bio.
Glad you loved the people that influence art, cinema, & poetry. 🙂
Poetry is a such a beautiful language art form. It heals us all, just like music within our hearts.
Most of them are my heroes as well.
You have impeccable taste, dear.
Heroes that inspired many and still continue til’ this day. So happy we share the common best of the best people. 🙂
We most certainly do.
🙂 Bless you my friend. 🙂
Long time-space-mind continuum since vve last spoke, my friend!
I have been really busy vvith vvork, but my mind churns all the time and the concept of language and hovv it affects our thinking and even consciousness, the Broken Narrative and such..
On this idea I vvrote an experimental saying language, meaning read as you’d say,you’ll see. Just to get people into the state they can read from “tvverking” the meaning “tvvo of her kind”. It is called “Vorking No Tvverking”.
I have a feeling it might be on the same page of vveird that you study too. 😉
p.s Double-v broken…
